The term 'Like Some French Vowels' can be solved by two crossword solutions: 'NASAL' (5 letters) and 'ACCENTED' (8 letters). French vowels can be pronounced in two ways: with a NASAL sound or with an accent. NASAL sounds are produced when air passes through the nose as well as the mouth, while accenting a vowel involves stressing it more than other syllables in a word. In French, NASAL vowels are indicated by a tilde (~) above the letter, while ACCENTED vowels are marked with an acute accent (´).
